Health Tip: Introduce your child to music

Article found on www.news.yahoo.com - Health Day News
Listening to music offers many benefits to children: it musically inclined kids appear better at math and reading, better focus, improved self-esteem and more social.
The Newmours Foundation offers theses suggestions for involving your child in music:
  • Listen to music or sing songs while your doing chores around the house, driving, or playtime.
  • Get some kid-friendly musical instruments and Cd's, and have them readily available for your child.
  • Find out if your child's school incorporates music and singing. Learn the song they play at school.
  • Enroll your child in an age-appropriate music class/dance.
  • Take your child to see live music. (specifically for young children, if possible.

I enjoyed this article, i think more children should be involved with music and instruments. Music offers many advantages for a young child. I personal believe each school should have a music class taken daily, so each student can express their self. Music helps us threw our day to day lives, and some of us can even make it into a career some day. For parents that do have young children, i would suggest researching how faster a child's mind develops that are involved in music. We are always looking for new ways to make our children smarter. Good luck parents!
